Practical Aspects of Waterflooding

Practical Aspects of Waterflooding explains the screening and analysis fundamentals for applying the waterflood displacement process to increase reserves. Organized in four parts, the book begins with an overview of reservoir analysis principles, then covers waterflood design followed by an extensive review of detailed field studies before closing with an explanation of what it takes to conduct a thorough review to ensure efficient operations. Along the way, decision points are included to consider the feasibility of continuing to a conclusion or abandoning the effort. The ultimate goal for readers is to help them increase the value of an oil field through improved waterflood management.
